The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is offering an
online truancy reduction tool kit for communities interested in
instituting a truancy reduction program. The tool kit covers such topics
as truancy's extent, causes, and connections to dropping out of school and
delinquency, as well as lessons learned from the evaluation of truancy
reduction programs. It provides resources and information to guide
communities, schools, and parents in addressing the problem of truancy.
